Product Description

Paired Passages Blasts! – Guided Reading Lessons – Fiction #2 – Grade 4 is a set of four fiction reading passages paired with poems to help assess student knowledge of reading objectives for students in grade 4. The passages, questions, and activities from this product are the same as the second four fiction paired passages from Paired Passages with Guided Reading Lessons – Grade 4 which was previously sold as Guided Reading and More – Grades 4 and 5 - USA. Be careful not to duplicate your purchases.

Instructions for using the selections as guided reading practice are included with each set of passages. They are designed to provide teachers with before, during, and after reading lesson plans to help guide students through the selections.

The poems are paired to fiction passages with similar themes or topics. The fiction passages may include narratives and realistic fiction.

Multiple choice as well as short and extended answer questions follow each set of paired selections. Each question is designed to assess a specific reading objective.

Each set of passages can also be used as stand-alone assessment pieces without the lesson plans. Students independently read and complete the passage and question items. The teacher can then either score each assessment passage apart from the students and report back to them as to how they performed or the teacher can score the passage in class together with the students allowing for immediate feedback and discussion.

An answer key is included. The answer key tells the correct multiple choice answers and examples of best-score short and extended response answers.

Also is a list of grade 4 reading objectives tested, a reading objectives matrix showing which passages assesses which objectives, and a list of higher level vocabulary found in each passage.
